in the hen-house that do the damage
to poultryas It IS the large gray body
lice, which work on the heads and
necks. Look closely for them, as they
do not leave the body of the f'wls.
The sleepy disease in chicks. dropping
spirits of the hens and failure to lay,
though well fed and in apparent health.
may be traced to the large lice on hens.

animals, because, compared with corn,
straw, etc., it is rich in muscle and
bone-forming elements, and this also
makes it q splendid food for work ami
mails. Corn should be fed sparingly to
